During the Vienna Gallery Weekend (23rd – 25th November) which became the unseparable part of the cultural manifestation Vienna Art Week, thirty eight galleries presented the work of seventy local and international artists. Desnobbing Austria team was enjoying a Sunday afternoon on Thomas Mießgang “tour de competence” through a number of galleries situated in the Schleifmühlgasse.

Titled Predicting Memories, VIENNA ART WEEK 2012, initiated by Dorotheum and conceived by Art Cluster Vienna, brings into focus museums, institutions and other interfaces of art that deal with art as a reservoir for memory and knowledge.
Cultures of memory, which are essential to reinforcing identity and giving meaning to future models of life and society, serve as important points of reference for contemporary art. As a reservoir for memory and knowledge, modern art sheds light on surprising, pioneering aspects of historical contexts through its use of analogue and digital media.
